Specializes in Psychiatry

Depression: Even though low ferritin levels can have association with depression, one can't say with certainty that correcting ferritin level will cure depression. Sometimes, combination treatment is needed to include elements like increasing iron level, psychotherapy &/ or antidepressant medication.
